Hi all,
Please contact me if you can help us out at extremely short notice.

We have an anti-fracking fundraiser at Fox and Hounds, Marsh Lane S21 5RH
This Saturday and had two bands pulled out (double booked).

Could anyone find it in their hearts to step in at the 11th hour (ok a bit dramatic but I've asked every band I've seen) and play for us for free, for nothing except admiration and love and possibly a new fan base.
Come on Sheffield 😱

(one of our speakers is in for repair at the moment so if it's still not fixed by the 16th, we'll take 2 extra speakers and turn them up a little louder than usual to make up for it, we used this setup for a few thousand at Sheffield Fayre on Monday so i'm confident it'll be more than enough whichever setup we use)

Yes also for flyers, hire of rooms etc. These things used to be free but businesses are feeling the crunch, which is why we would be really grateful for any help.

Totally appreciate that these things used to be free. Bands should, in my view, be on the list of things that used to be free.

This isn't just you - there are so many times when events ask for bands to play for 'exposure'. No one asks the printers to print flyers for exposure, or the lawyers doing your legal work to do that for 'exposure'. The PA is being hired as you say. We see it time and time again - why do people put literally no value on artists? It's wrong.

Again, nothing against you or your cause, but I can't understand why musicians are seen as such second class citizens that it's acceptable to ask them to work for free, but no one else is expected to.

I agree we're asking for free help, but we're not trying to use people for our own gain. If you're not faced with the prospect of a drill rig 300 metres from your home and you're worried sick about how it will affect your children then it's easy to dismiss as scare mongering. It's real and the government has said it's fine to pollute the North because well, we're all scroungers aren't we. I also understand your feelings, sorry for offending, that wasn't my intention. Anyway must pop off got until Saturday to learn Teen Spirit on the spoons. Lol.x
